Shadow and Bone (series - The
Grisha #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Shadow and Bone is a great example of a young adult fantasy novel
that will appeal to a wide audience.
It always amazes me when an author can create a whole world with
elements of what the readers may know and mixes in elements of magic and
terrible creatures. I can imagine the war-torn country of Ravka filled with the
familiar elements of Eastern European folklore. The characters are so engaging and well-drawn,
it’s hard to pick a favorite. However, the
book is predominantly the story of friendship and love between Alina and Mal,
orphans with special skills that have gone undiscovered until now; all of the
other characters revolve around them. When Alina’s magical powers come to the
notice of the mighty and power hungry Darkling, she must decide what is true
and worthy. Enjoy this captivating novel
and then wait with me for the next installment!
